At this year's Reunion, one of the decomm crewmembers madea joke about signing qual cards reflecting his status as one of the newest of the nubs.

It got me to thinking, who earned the FIRST set of Dolphins on the Madison? I'm guessing there was some sort of provisional qualifications process. How can you get a checkout from a qualified shipmate when no shipmates have yet qualified on this boat?

On a similar note, who earned the LAST set of Dolphins on the Madison?
